Publisher's summary

Linnea Bradenborg expects to find culture and excitement in Alamo, North Dakota, where she's recently been hired as the new schoolteacher. Instead, she finds a sparse little town in the middle of nowhere. Better yet, her train is met by a cantankerous wheat farmer named Theodore Westgaard who doesn't bother to hide his displeasure when he discovers that L. I. Brandenborg is a woman and not the man he was expecting.

Westgaard thinks twice about bringing Linnea home to live with him, but he soon realizes that he has no choice. All of the town's past schoolteachers have lived with the Westgaard family - made up of Theodore, his mother, and his teenaged son - due to their farm being located very near the schoolhouse, and so Theodore allows Linnea into his home. But who could have guessed that this young, independent woman would soon find her way into the handsome farmer's heart?

A compelling classic to be listened to again and again, Years is a fitting tribute to the pioneer schoolteachers who braved many hardships to share the gift of knowledge with countless children.

Couldn’t stop listening to!!

Love the characters and the story was developed really well. Would have loved to know if the son made it home in the end though.

Wonderful Story

This was another great LaVyrle Spencer story. I had a hard time getting into it as the narrator was an acquired taste but thanks to one of your reviewers thoughts on the narrator’s work I sped up the reading to 110 and immediately found Susan’s reading to be entertaining and enjoyable. The book was beautifully written, I look forward to reading another by LaVyrle.

Terrible narration

I’ve read this story many times and it’s a very enjoyable book, but this narrator is abysmal and monotone. How is the world did she get this job?

Wonderful

I loved this book in the 90’s and I love it even more now. The narrator did a wonderful job and the story is so good! Love that these LaVyrle Spencer books are being put on Audible!
